Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
Legends Of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 13
Wow wow wow do I hate this story with John so much. I guess it'll be no problem for Zari to move on from him if this horrible evil mess is the man she last remembers before he dies. It sucks extra hard cause my heart melted with how adorably in love the two were and how I was totally right in saying that there's no way that Zari would have ever walked away from the man she loved when he was in pain. I loved that he chose her over magic itself and that though he wanted to break up with her cause she deserved better she refused to let him go down that route. I am really curious though about this whole magic blood demon and how much it tends to control John and how it sucks that the others didn't know that it was more than John's willpower that was keeping him addicted cause otherwise I'm fairly certain they'd have John in a cell next to Bishop in order to detox him. Would Gideon have a way to clear the poison from his system? Either way I guess it doesn't matter cause he is going to join Bishop and probs die along the way. I did like the Ava stuff though this week and the fact that she was struggling with how to feel about Bishop given that he clearly knows the perfect way to play her. I mean after all he built her.
I don't exactly have high hopes for the penultimate episode if I'm being honest cause I don't know whether I can trust Legends to really dig into how dark this whole thing with John is but at the same time it doesn't exactly look like next week is going to be a lighthearted romp so maybe I can hope a little? Also straight up Behrad better be around for the final two episodes this season cause Zari will need her brother!!
Stargirl Season 2 Episode 3
I have to say that I am actually really disappointed with the direction this show went this week cause I was really really excited to find out that Mike might be taking on the Thunder pen only to be let down when he ended up accidentally wishing the pen into better hands. I guess if Superman & Lois have taught me anything then it's the fact that sometimes it's important not to have every main cast in your show have powers. I just wish that Mike would get to do as much sleuthing or spywork for the JSA as Barbara does cause it breaks my heart to see how left out he felt all episode. Like Superman & Lois the highlight of this show is the family and I don't know if this show's writing team knows it cause I could truly care less about the other JSA members but I could watch hours of Courtney's family doing things! In other news it looks like Shade might actually be in Blue Valley to find Eclipso and perhaps that means that he'll end up teaming up with us cause though he probs doesn't care to save the current JSA it's clear that he's hunting Eclipso. Now that Beth was warned, it'll definitely be time to buckle down on the new villain of the season which should be fun.
Okay so this might have been the best episode of this show so far! I had a blast with the whole murder mystery scenario in which we had to find the person who was killing every one of the Avengers initiates and I loved that it ended up being Hank who was behind it all. In this universe Fury recruited Hope to be a SHIELD agent but she died and Hank was getting his revenge. Loki brought the Asgardian troops to Midguard to "get revenge" for Thor's death which I'm sure a part of him really did care about but the rest of him was here to do his Avengers plot and take over the world. I'd imagine that despite everything Fury would still put together a team though a clearly different one with Captain Marvel at the helm and maybe Steve as well. Tbh Carol would whoop Loki's ass in three seconds though so maybe Fury wouldn't even actually need anyone else! I do have to say that of the three universes we've seen so far this one is the one that I would most want to live in more!
Ugh dudes this episode reminded me once again how much I adore Jason Todd and how pissed I am that this show decided to take him down the Red Hood route cause I liked good Jason and I liked how much he wanted to be good despite his darkness. It was fascinating seeing how he struggled with PTSD after season 2 and how Leslie was actually helping him until Bruce fucked everything up like he always seems to in this show. It's ironic that Bruce thinking that of course he knows best ignored the fact that Jason and Dick are two separate people. Like he sees both as his sons but whereas Dick needed Bruce and not Robin, Jason needed Robin not Bruce. Jason is too traumatized to realize that Bruce trying to keep him from being Robin wasn't a punishment but an acknowledgement that Bruce loves and wants to protect him. I did also like seeing the whole story with Jason and how he really did live out the whole Red Hood storyline from being murdered by the Joker to resurrected by a Lazarus Pit but now it seems that rather than the Lazarus Pit being the thing that turned him dark, it might have been something Scarecrow snuck into Jason's anti-fear gas. The poor thing. I wonder if it'll be possible to wean him off of it and what will be the thing to return him to who he was before.
My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 21
Okay I have to say that because I tried to avoid all the spoilers in the world while watching this season I actually didn't know last week what this exciting arc that manga readers won't shut up about was about. After this week it seems that the arc is called My Villain Academia and we'll basically see everything about what the League was doing while we were following the heroes in their work studies and I'm assuming it'll end where we began with the Liberation Army stronghold city being wrecked and the League taking over the Liberation Army as Hawks tries to infiltrate. The thing though is that I still to this day don't actually understand what the Liberation Army tries to idolize and where Dabi fits in cause I was almost sure that he was a League member but is he actually not? I also don't know how I feel about an arc entirely about the villains cause why would we care if a bunch of villains get murdered or whatever! You can't keep telling me that this is the arc that changes everything if it doesn't affect the heroes we're actually following.
